You just be kind to her and now suddenly you&#8217;re in a relationship. Like I get how she would easily fall for the character in her circumstances,,, but literally I just told her she was beautiful when she was feeling insecure about her looks and then suddenly we were in a relationship. I guess that&#8217;s how Courtly Love works or something. The only way to avoid it was to be unnecessarily harsh with her. I had to break that off. I&#8217;m playing an old scoundrel ex-mafioso, I don&#8217;t thinks Cassia REALLY wants him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I even tried reloading and playing it where I did NOT tell her she was beautiful (which I still think I should be allowed to do without wanting a relationship with somebody), and STILL it was a almost impossible to avoid a relationship! I get it, she was sheltered and just read a bunch of books about knights and princesses and you just rescued her life from a harrowing ordeal so she imagines you&#8217;re all gallant and stuff. It makes sense she would have a crush. But why does the game flag me as being in a relationship just because she wants to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was like BG3&#8217;s Gale in the earlier days where the dialogue options were all either &#8220;we bang now &#8221; or &#8220;<em>kick him in the balls<\/em>.&#8221; There&#8217;s no &#8220;I&#8217;m flattered but no thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyhow, sorry Cassia, you&#8217;re better off without me. I brand bratty elf boy-toys now, you wouldn&#8217;t be into it anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got distracted from my BG3 Honor Mode run somewhere in Act II with Rogue Trader.
